The purpose of the study is to determine whether the addition of Ipilimumab to Etoposide and Platinum therapy will extend the lives of patients with Extensive-Stage Disease Small Cell Lung Cancer (ED-SCLC) more than Etoposide and Platinum therapy alone.

Overall Survival among subjects who receive at least one dose of blinded study therapy [ Time Frame: Approximately 41 months after the 1st subject is randomized ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Overall Survival in all Randomized Subjects [ Time Frame: Approximately 41 months after the 1st subject is randomized ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Progression Free Survival per mWHO in subjects who have received at least one dose of blinded study therapy [ Time Frame: Approximately 41 months after the 1st subject is randomized ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Ipilimumab: IV solution, Intravenous (IV), 10 mg/kg, Once every 3 weeks for 4 doses, then every 12 weeks, Until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity, or until the maximum treatment period of 3 years is reached

Placebo matching Ipilimumab: IV solution, IV, 0 mg/kg, Once every 3 weeks for 4 doses, then every 12 weeks, Until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity, or until the maximum treatment period of 3 years is reached
